Dating my recently purchased Phonograph

[rjjdog]

Hello all,

I’ve done some research, but cant locate how old my Diamond disc phonograph is. All information is below that I could find on Phonograph. Any help would be appreciated.

Sold by: The Carlin Music Company 143 E Washington St Indianapolis, IN
Gold Emblem on inside of cabinet by turntable: "Diamond Disc Official Laboraton Model"
CC32 SM--4313
Edison NO.19 Cabinet Factory 11227

Thanks for looking
RJ

I did find some information that would date my model at this link. This is the console version of the Chippendale Laboratory Model! It was sold from April 1922 through August 1927. I will post pictures soon. I’m also looking in purchasing an original volume control ball.

Congratulations to your CC-32. I looked in Frow's Diamond Disc book, but unfortunately there is not much more information there than on the link you posted. Worthpoint probably got their info from the same book. There are no production numbers over the years for this particular model in the book, so you'll have to live with the 1922-1927 time frame.
Volume control balls show up regularly on eBay.
